Students have asked these similar questions

Computer memory is often categorized using bytes, which are 8 bits long. How many different values can a byte contain? How many different values may be represented by two bytes?

1 bit is equal to 6 byte 10 patterns 8 bytes All choices are incorrect 2 patterns The CPU processes instructions as 1 p a series of 1's and O's called * Software language O All of the above Machine language O Programming language

True or False 1/ An arithmetic mean is an appropriate measure if the sum of all the measurements is a meaningful and interesting value. 2/ One of the benchmark principle is that it is a program written in a low-level language. 3/ Amdahl's law deals with the potential speedup of a program using multiple processors compared to a single processor.
